defference of two OS

explaine the advantages of two

Hmm... Maybe you should explain the difference... And let people discuss it. You see your topic only has two lines, as well as the rest of your posts.

As much as Windows sucks, I'm considering voting "Windows" ....

... because zogo loves the Mac :P

Oddly enough, I'd choose mac.
But the difference mainly is Mac OS was wrote on Darwin (a fork[?] of freebsd, I beleive, or straight from BSD4.4) and Windows was wrote from.. well Windows 3.1
In effect, Mac OS is a *NIX style system, with some goodies on top.

I can't explain because i know nothing about MAC ,and actually i'm using windows

Then why should you post here?

Mac clearly wins. im using a g4 ibook 12" myself at the university and its just great.

1) Reboot it once every month. Use Standby the rest of the time, mac standby consumes about 1% battery over night - only leaves the ram powered
2) it just looks nice. and is fast as hell at the same time
3) you have built in ssh support, and ofcourse your own bash shell
4) Use Exposé once and you will not want to work with alt+tab ever again (exposé is hard to explain... google for it if you are interested in it)
5) Spotlight simply finds what you are looking for, even crawls pdfs for the string you are looking for... _really_ fast (even tho google desktop for windows can do the same thing)

i could go on for a while but ill save it

i like mac more than windows because it is pro. what i mean by that im reffering to the fact that you have the hardware and the software like any other computer right? well thats the big diff in my opinion. you have the hardware made for the software and the soft for that hardware and none other. there are projects for porting the soft but... you get the maximum performace in the original combination so there you have it the PROFFESIONAL solution.

I use windows myself but I've tried mac osx and I definately prefer it. like cheatman said, it's better when the hardware and software match. Also I think the simplicity and beauty in osx is great. I get the feeling that like 50 engineers have been trying each function out and improving it several times, so in the end it feels like nothing is missing , I don't really get that feeling in windows.

edit: I'll probably get myself an apple notebook this fall. I just hope they solve their heat issues.

well i have tried both, windows xp and mac on intel system. I prefer mac bcos it looks so much better and it's based on windows. but it doesn't have the particular application that i need which windows has . so i'am stuck with windows

what the hell? mac os is not based on windows at _all_. its based on unix, not microsoft stuff.

btw babu: which program do you need? maybe i can help you out..
